Why is the heating curve important?
Now
we
have
gone
through
the
settings
for
the
heating
curve,
and
the
importance
of
properly
setting
the
heating
curve
has
been
highlighted.
Why
is
this
so
important?
Well,
the
heat
pump
doesn't
act
like
a
oil
‐
based
furnace,
wood
stove
or
electric
boiler,
where
the
temperature
does
not
have
as
great
an
impact
on
efficiency.
The
effectiveness/efficiency
of
the
heat
pump
is
called
the
COP
and
is
a
measure
of
how
much
energy
you
get
back
in
relation
to
how
much
you
put
in.
COP
=
3
means
that
if
you
put
in
1
kWh
of
energy,
you
get
3
kWh
of
energy
back
out.
The
efficiency,
COP,
of
the
heat
pump
depends
on
many
different
parameters,
but
there
is
a
clear
connection
between
the
water
temperature
in
the
heat
pump
and
COP.
The
hotter
the
water
that
the
heat
pump
must
produce,
the
lower
the
degree
of
efficiency,
COP,
and
the
lower
the
cost
savings.
This
means
that
in
order
to
optimise
your
savings,
the
heating
curve
needs
to
be
set
as
low
as
possible.
If
the
heating
curve
is
set
too
high,
the
heat
pump
generates
water
that
is
warmer
than
necessary
and
therefore
has
a
lower
degree
of
efficiency.
The best savings for your heating system come
from setting the water temperatures as low as
possible!
In practice
It
can
take
a
long
time
to
set
up
the
perfect
house
heating
curve
for
your
house,
and
you
may
need
to
adjust
it
a
number
of
times.
Above
all,
it
will
need
to
be
adjusted
when
the
outdoor
temperature
drops.
There
are
a
few
basic
tips
that
should
be
followed.
Radiator thermostats
All
radiator
thermostats
should
be
completely
open
when
you
set
you
heating
curve.
Otherwise,
the
risk
is
that
the
Exotic
Compact
unit
will
send
out
water
that
is
warmer
than
necessary.
Adjustment
With
the
thermostats
completely
open,
try
reducing
the
heating
curve
using
the
settings
in
this
chapter,
e.g.
heating
curve
point
B.
Wait
a
few
days
and
see
whether
the
comfort
level
is
satisfactory.
When
you
find
a
setting
where
it
is
sufficiently
warm
in
the
coolest
room
in
the
house,
you
can
fine
‐
tune
the
thermostats
on
the
radiators
in
the
other
rooms.
Room sensors
Room
sensors
make
adjustment
easier,
because
the
system
itself
decreases
the
heating
curve
when
necessary.
Remember
that
raising
the
room
temperature
by
one
degree
means
that
approximately
3
‐
5
°
C
warmer
water
needs
to
be
produced.
